When cars started rolling on air-filled pneumatic tires at the turn of the century, those tires were white because nobody had yet realized that injecting the molten rubber with petroleum-based black carbon resulted in a tire that had far less heat build up and much stronger sidewalls. The fact that the carbon turned the tire rubber black was discovered by accident but went a long way towards making it easier to keep the rolling stock clean.
Our Fiat replacement tires are made from a highly flexible polyurethane based silicon resulting in a tire that looks and feels like rubber and is soft enough that it can be mounted on the wheel rims without having to be heated.
Pocher made a variety of Fiat F2 Grand Prix kits with some providing four driving tires while others included two extra spares and the support racks for them.
Because the K-77 and K-70 Kits didn't include spare tires and the support racks, Model Motorcars is very excited to announce our new and highly accurate Fiat Spare Tire Support Racks (25% thicker, machined from .040 brass). These Supports combined with one of our Tire options below makes it easy to add a whole new level of detail to your 1:8 scale Fiat Grand Prix Racer.

Just like our Alfa and Rolls Leaf Springs, the Fiat Springs are made from stainless steel which has been blackened to match the Pocher top spring. These pieces replace the plastic molded "stack" that comes with the Pocher Fiat kit. We provide 50' of cord to wrap them as was common practice at that time. Our Kit also includes a 2.0 mm Tap to thread the exisiting hole in the plastic axle that came with your Pocher kit. The Fiat Leaf Springs Kit includes all the necessary 2.0 mm hex head bolts you will need to finish your Fiat suspension off in style.

Part No.F002 $75.00 Complete Kit
With the start of the commission to build a 1907 Fiat F2 Gran Prix Racer, Model Motorcars is proud to announce the development of an entire suite of upgrade and replacement products for the unique Pocher Fiat scale replica.
The first listing in our Fiat parts inventory is the Fiat Wheels Kit. Consisting of 353 wooden (Oak) and bronze pieces, this kit contains the wooden spokes, cast bronze rims and hubs and assembly hardware necessary to build a complete set of four wheels. From the delicate spokes on the front to the "knuckles" on the back that serve as mounts for the drive gears, these wheels are accurate down to the smallest detail, including a set of Valve Stems.

Taking advantage of the most advanced casting and CNC 3D routing technology available these wheels are a huge upgrade over the plastic pieces that come in the kit. This exciting Kit is the first of many Pocher Fiat upgrades...so stay tuned.

The Fiat Wheels Kit includes all the 00.90 bolts, nuts, washers and Valve Stems needed to assemble 4 wheels. Each Kit also includes an Assembly Instruction CD (by Paul Koo), our 00-90 Nut Driver and a #55 Drill.
